About
Kanta Hori is a leading researcher in surgical education and urological training, with a focus on bridging the gap between trainee competencies and real-world practice demands. Her work critically examines the mental and physical workloads of surgeons, particularly as new technologies like laparoscopic and robotic surgery become widespread. In her highly cited 2024 study, "A prospective study of surgeons’ workloads and associated factors in real-world practice" (8 citations), Hori sheds light on the often-overlooked costs of surgery, addressing the urgent need to understand physician burnout beyond mere workload metrics. She also conducted a landmark needs assessment in Japan, "Gap analysis between trainees' subjective competencies and the competencies expected by instructors in urology" (5 citations), which identifies critical mismatches in surgical training expectations. By pinpointing where trainees feel underprepared versus what instructors deem essential, Hori’s research directly informs curriculum design and policy to enhance surgical education. Her work is vital for educators, trainees, and healthcare systems striving to adapt training to rapidly evolving surgical landscapes while safeguarding surgeon well-being.
